2010 Program: "Behind the Mask"
The Hawthorne Caballeros are excited and pleased to announce their 2010 competing program with the presentation of “Behind the Mask”.
Behind the Mask will transport you into the world of identity – is it real or perceived? Can you just put on a simple mask to become a different person or portray a different mood or emotion? Yes, when you put on a mask anything is possible; suddenly you can move, act, and think differently without second thought. The mask embodies potential for transformations of all kinds - emotional, spiritual, physical, and symbolic. Follow the exciting repertoire of Behind the Mask presented by the 2010 Caballeros as they explore and reveal numerous musical styles, tonalities, colors and effects; ultimately revealing the true identity of the 2010 Hawthorne Caballeros.
Led by our 2010 Show Coordinator, Thomas Aungst, the 2010 Design Team will include brass arrangements written by Rob Stein, Brass Arranger and Caption Head, percussion arranged by Mike Schmitt, Dave Dumont, Mike Wyatt and Tom Beebe, visual design created by Eric Robertshaw and Anthony Tanasy designing the Guard Program. Tom has been working closely with the new design team and is looking forward to introducing Behind the Mask to our fans and the drum corps community. Tom stated, “This generation of the Caballeros has a modern approach to the traditional Caballero style. "Behind the mask" will prove to be an imaginative, high velocity crowd pleaser”.
